      From: snidely.too@gmail.com              Hard capture underway. /Endurance/ breezed through Waypoints 0 and 1       without a hold.              Raja Chari, the commander, is one of the rookies. Kayla Barron, a       submariner, and Matthias Maurer, a materials scientist, are the others.       The nickname for the Chari's and Barron's astronaut class was       "Turtles", and Maurer's class was known as "Peacocks". The Zero-G       indicater is a stuffed turtle named Pfau, covering all 3 new       astronauts.              Thomas Marshburn, the pilot, is the sole veteran, having flown on       STS-127 (/Endeavour/) and Expedition 34/35 (TMA-07M), and has 4       spacewalks under his belt.              /dps                     --       As a colleague once told me about an incoming manager,       "He does very well in a suck-up, kick-down culture."        Bill in Vancouver              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
